What we collect in Northwood
Northwood is the leafy north-western tip of the borough, up against the Hertfordshire border, and its housing is mostly large detached and semi-detached homes with long gardens, many of them in the same hands for decades. That produces rubbish in volume rather than by the bag — a garage that has been filling since the family moved in, a loft emptied before a sale, and the furniture and green waste that a big house and a long plot generate.
Access is the thing to mention when you book. Around Moor Park there are private roads, gravel drives and gated frontages, so we plan where the van will stand and carry the last stretch by hand rather than churning up a drive. Tell us about gates, a shared drive or a long carry and we will bring enough crew for it; either way, the crew does all the lifting.
HA6 properties often fill more than one van. When that happens we quote the whole job as one fixed figure after a walk-through rather than load by load; a single load runs from £95 for a minimum to £495 for a full Luton, priced by the space it fills. We come over from Uxbridge via Ruislip and Eastcote, 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays, so same-day slots are realistic.
The council route in HA6 is Hillingdon’s bulky waste collection: £53 a slot, £39 for residents over 65 and £94 for landlords, with up to six items in each slot. It collects from the boundary only — out at ground level by 6am, nothing fetched from inside — and it takes no building or DIY waste, garden waste, rubble, tyres or hazardous items. Slots are booked Monday to Friday against the next free date, which at busy times can be several days away. For a few ordinary pieces you can carry to the front yourself it is cheaper than us, but a garage, loft or whole-house clear-out runs past six items straight away. Our council versus man and van comparison shows where the line falls.
Northwood’s nearest tip is the borough’s Harefield Civic Amenity Site on New Years Green Lane (UB9 6LX), over toward Harefield: free for Hillingdon residents, seven days a week, 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm. A car needs a HillingdonFirst card. A van or trailer needs photo ID plus a household bill from the last three months, both in the driver’s own name, and is capped at 12 visits a calendar year — take the hire agreement as well if the van is hired. It takes household waste only. Our Harefield tip guide sets out the rules.

Commercial, office and trade waste removal in Northwood
We take trade and commercial waste in Northwood too — landlords and letting agents clearing between tenancies, and builders and fitters with end-of-job waste from work in HA6. Commercial loads are priced by volume like household ones, with a waste transfer note on request.
What we collect covers most non-hazardous streams: general and mixed waste, office and commercial furniture, retail fixtures and fittings, timber and pallets, cardboard and packaging, flooring and carpet, plasterboard and light rubble, and end-of-life household items. There are a few things a man and van cannot legally carry loose — hazardous waste such as asbestos, chemicals, clinical waste, gas bottles and tyres — but tell us what you have and we will either handle it correctly or point you to the right specialist. Fridges, freezers and larger appliances are fine with a little notice so we dispose of them the proper way.
Rubbish removal in Northwood — your questions answered
Can you get down a private road or through gates near Moor Park?
Yes. Private roads, gravel drives and gated frontages are routine in HA6. Tell us about the access when you book — a gate code, a weight limit, a shared drive — and we will plan where the van stops and carry the rest by hand.
Is the council bulky collection cheaper for a Northwood house?
For a handful of ordinary items you can carry to the boundary by 6am, yes: £53 a slot, £39 if you are over 65. It stops being cheaper once you pass six items, need anything brought out of the house, garage or loft, or have building or garden waste in the pile — the council takes none of that, and each extra slot is another £53.
What if the job is more than one van load?
That is common in HA6, and it does not mean an hourly bill. We look at photos or a video walk-through, then quote the whole clearance as one fixed figure, however many loads it takes, so there is a single number to plan around.
Do you clear sheds and garden rubbish as well as the house?
Yes, in the same visit. Northwood’s long gardens mean sheds, old garden furniture and green waste are often part of the job; it all goes in the same load, and the crew carries it out from wherever it is.
How quickly can you reach Northwood?
Usually the same day. HA6 is a short run from our Uxbridge base via Ruislip and Eastcote, and we work 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays. Send a photo and you will have a fixed price back before we set off.
Where we collect rubbish near Northwood
We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Northwood seven days a week. As well as HA6 we work across Ruislip, Eastcote, Pinner, Rickmansworth and Harefield, and out to the Moor Park border.
What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
